Given current information,and the travelling restrictions dues to COVID19 the organization team anticipates an online event without any single one main geographical center, but remotely accessible and with multiple parallel satellite locations.
The main part of the conference will take place in the time zone of it’s organizing institution, which is the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles, USA. (Los Angeles Time Zone-Pacific Standard Time, UTC/GMT -8).
Being committed to comply with all health and safety directives, regarding mass events and travelling, the organizing team decided to hold the conference entirely virtually.
The conference organization team has been committed to use any surplus expenses towards setting the conference and workshop registration fees as low as possible to guarantee an inclusive event.
The conference program will be available to follow remotely. However, only registered participants can comment on papers, interact and discuss with other participants and follow the social program.
Unregistered participants can follow the conference presentations without capacity for interaction.
Architecture students as well as non-funded PhD students are allowed the Participant/Student fee with proof of their status.

About
CAAD Futures is a biannual international conference on computational architecture, which was founded in 1985 by the CAAD Futures Foundation with the mission to "advance Computer Aided Architectural Design in the service of those concerned with the quality of the built environment". While many design computing conferences have generally focused on similar agendas, CAAD futures, stands out as a more reflective meeting intending a comprehensive perspective of the field.In line with its mission, conferences have taken place all around the world. Recent conferences were held in Daejeon (2019), Istanbul (2017), Sao Paulo (2015), Shanghai (2013) and Liège (2011). The best papers of each conference are collected in a proceedings volume and published by Springer. CAAD Futures is part of the Cumulative Index of CAAD (CumInCAD) database. The 2021 CAAD Futures Conference will be formally hosted by the University of Southern California and will take place between July 16-18 2021, on both the physical and virtual realm.
